The inference of regulatory interactions between genes from time-course micro-array data is one of the most challenging tasks in the field of functional genomics. The multitude of genes that can now be measured using micro-array technology requires analysis tools that can easily scale-up with respect to the number of genes. This scalability is especially important when inferring genetic interac...

the significance of research article (ra) abstract as a key academic genre has recently motivated analysts to focus on this neglected area. considering a summary function for abstracts, most genre researchers have adopted the conventionally proposed introduction- method- results- discussion (or conclusion) (imrd) model for analysis. however, the problems reported, especially for results and dis...

fabrication, characterization and application of micro-/nano-rods/wires are among the hottest topics in materials science and applied physics. micro-/nano-rod-based structures and devices are developed for a wide-ranging use in various fields of micro-/nanoscience (e.g. biology, electronics, medicine, optics, optoelectronics, photonics and sensors). it is well known that the structure and prope...

different approaches of source apportionment of dust fractions have been reported world-over. predicting source categories within receptor chemical profiles using regression and factor analysis using pca has been reported to evaluate possible source/routes of air pollution mass. the present study is focused on the application of all three approaches to investigate higher degrees of significance...

Spontaneous facial micro-expression analysis has become an active task for recognizing suppressed and involuntary facial expressions shown on the face of humans. Recently, Local Binary Pattern from Three Orthogonal Planes (LBP-TOP) has been employed for micro-expression analysis. However, LBP-TOP suffers from two critical problems, causing a decrease in the performance of micro-expression analy...

The researchers described the linear amplification via transposon insertion (LIANTI) method today in Science, reporting that it enables micro-copy number variation detection with kilobase resolution. Sunney Xie, senior author on the study, said that he is interested in using the method for preimplantation genetic screening and diagnosis, which typically rely on the analysis of single or very fe...

We developed a method to analyze sketch maps by GIS, and applied it to an actual case study. We found that analysis using buffer operation was more effective for sketch map analyses than other methods, such as the entire road length method and area method. After modeling the buffer method, an experimental study of the micro-genetic cognitive process was conducted on sketch maps from Japanese st...

among factors that might manipulate translators’ mind while producing a text is the notion of ideology transmission through text or talk. adopting critical discourse analysis (cda) with particular emphasis on the framework of van dijk (1999), the present investigation is an attempt to shed light on the relationship between language and ideology involved in translation in general, and more speci...
